7$ 6max session, what is my play on this flop? Villain is a fish, i think that isolation pre is std. I was ready to fire a cbet but his full pot donk bet seems strange to me. I don't want to call on the flop and fold most turns (without good turn card for me) so I decided to fold. I think he will be strong pretty often here. He is 55/35 agg%33. 20 hands.

Poker Stars, $6.48 Buy-in (10/20 blinds, 3 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 6 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37642814

Hero (BTN): 1,500 (75 bb)
SB: 1,500 (75 bb)
BB: 1,500 (75 bb)
UTG: 1,500 (75 bb)
MP: 1,500 (75 bb)
CO: 1,500 (75 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with 9

UTG folds, MP calls 20, CO folds, Hero raises to 75, 2 folds, MP calls 55

Flop: (198) J

(2 players)
MP bets 198, Hero folds

If you were just trying to steal then the raise needs to be larger.
When it gets back to MP, there's 143 in the pot and he needs 55 to call = 2.6:1
A 55/35 is going to call those odds with a wide range.

OTF - the psb looks like an overpair afraid of the flush draw but a loose player could easily have air here.
You have top pair/weak kicker, on level 1, so I'm not committing a load of chips in this spot.

TBH
I think J9o is too weak a holding to attempt a steal from such a loose player.
You're on the the first level so folding pre is fine.

I would call and re-assess ott. You'v connected too heavily to fold to one bet. Donkeys at this level take weird lines and villain here can have a draw only. You block better TPTKs and a made straight. Even if villain has two pair you have nine outs and great implied odds. If you miss ott and villain barrels with a decent sizing let it go.

+1 to calling as played.

Pre-flop how about limping behind and trying to play this 3-4 way in position with 74BB behind each player for if we hit hard? Or is this hand just too weak?
